"Rerurned to Rare 650 tonight after a few years. Overall the dinner was ok. Not amazing but not terrible. I was surprised that they had openings every 30 minutes on a Saturday night. Ok, maybe it's a slow season after summer is over. We we seated right away, great : But got the worst table right by the kitchen path. So, every time someone passed by they hit the back of my chair without a word of apology. The drinks came afrer 25 min wait. Every table got a bread basket with butter, we didn't get any butter. At the middle of the meal the waiter came and took the olive oil bottle that was on the table, ok, they might've really needed it : Overall, the service was underwhelming. Nobody came to check on us after we ordered. Now to food. Starters were tuna watermelon ceviche and short rib wellington. Tuna had a little fishy taste and was so fatty, def not sushi-grade tuna. I left 90% of it untouched on the plate. Nobody even asked me why when they took my plate. Short rib wellington was ok. Short rib tasted good but the pastry was served on the side and didn't add anything to the dish. Entres were seared lamb chops, marimated skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and mushrooms. The lamb chops were really good, so were the mushrooms. The skirt steak ordered medium rare came out rare. Better than overdone. So, it wasn't sent back. It came with a weird bbq/ horseradish sauce which was so overpowering, so glad we ordered chimichurri. Drinks were good. Smoked old fashioned was very balanced and mild in bourbon flavor. The first drink came under the dome with the smoke comimg out of it, the second one was just delivered to the table with no presentation. I guess it was an ok meal, but considefing the price point and the restaurant's reputation, I expected much more."

"My family and I will never return to this location. Although the food tasted old and the beverages were subpar we planned on staying to celebrate my Mother’s birthday. The Manager on duty at the time was extremely rude and condescending. We simply asked for my Mom’s non-alcoholic beverage to be exchanged. My Mother asked a number of times and no thing was done about it. The server was new; we understood and remained patient. Time passed and we asked the manger about it and he said plainly ask your server. Time passed again and I excused myself from the table to speak directly with the Manager. His response was you saw your server ask him. I said excuse me aren’t you the manager? Clearly if we received what was requested a number of times I would not bring it to his attention again. The Manager rudely stated I have 5 other things to do. At this point I said ok no problem. I let my family know at this point we needed to leave. However we wanted to pay for what we had. The Manager then walks up with a drink in hand after we decided to leave. I said no it’s too late for that we’re leaving but we’d like to pay for what we had which at this time were drinks a few appetizers. He then says it’s comp’d and goodbye. I would like to make it clear the server was not our primary reason it was the behavior of the Manager that escalated the issue. His communication skills are lacking as well as his customer service. As a brand he does not make Benihana look good. We ended up going to the Edison location where the service was excellent!"
